Critical recommendations
high
Bowling
Economy under pressure
Going at 5.58 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 11% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 120.
- ✓ Safe hands — 46 catches in 130 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 40% · Batting 71 × 30% · Bowling 42 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.28 for the level played (3rd grade 4 · Club 19 · 4th grade 6 · 5th grade and below 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 46 catches + 5 run outs (3 direct, 2 assisted) in 130 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- 2,050 runs in 126 innings, adjusted average 18.6, strike rate 86.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 35 wickets in 54 matches bowled in (of 130 played) — 0.65 per match at 24.3, economy 5.58, strike rate 26.1.
